I've tried a few brands of coated strings in the last couple of years because I sweat a lot and apparently my sweat is particularly corrosive, so I tend to break strings more often than many.

I haven't liked any of the coated strings I've tried... they all feel, to varying degrees, sort of grabby. So, for me, it was back to Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky - 9 to 46.

I change my strings about every 4-5 nights of playing on my main guitar. My gigging backup gets new strings every month or two, depending on how much it was used. Other guitars get new strings periodically.

Curt Mangan strings, best I've ever tried. Played D'Addario for 25 years. They were the brightest and cheap but the Mangan's just sound big and are easier to bend. 09-46
